Healthy Habits for Your Summer Lawn

Have you been noticing bare patches on your lawn during these hot summer months?

Here are a few tips for treating and preventing bare patches caused by dollar spots and red thread:

Healthy Habits: Regular watering and proper mowing can make a big difference. Avoid cutting your grass too short when mowing. For tips on proper watering, see last month’s article on watering and fertilizing.

Feed Your Lawn: A soil test can reveal nutrient deficiencies. Ever So Green can perform one for you, then address any nutrient shortages with a balanced fertilizer to strengthen your grass.

Cultural Control: Aerate compacted soil to improve drainage, especially for red thread. Ever So Green can help with this as well.

Treatment Options: If prevention fails, fungicides can be a last resort. However, a healthy lawn is the best defense. By addressing underlying causes and creating an environment resistant to diseases, you can enjoy a beautiful green lawn all season long.
